I've been looking for sheet music for this Wolf's Rain song for awhile...
The song is titled "Shiro, Long Tail's" and is on the Wolf's Rain OST2.

It doesn't really matter what instrument(s) it's for, but if possible I'd like a Bb Clarinet Solo with Piano.

Yeah...first time requesting sheetmusic, so if anything else is needed, just tell me.

I just finished watching (the. best. anime.) Wolf's Rain and the piece Shiro, Long Tail's really got me; hence, I started improvising it on the piano (I'll have something on YouTube shortly) and started arranging the piece for piano (as in, sheet music.)

The original song's in E# (well, c# minor) but getting it to Bb shouldn't be something that a single click can't handle.

I don't know about the clarinet... um, any specific pointers how you would want it? (And about the "first time" thing - this is my first time arranging something as well; I've just been improvising so far.)

*resurrects dead thread*

I've been in the mood for arranging stuff lately; and Shiro / Long Tail's from Wolf's Rain caught my eye. Midi-only sample for now; have a listen if you're interested. Final version (midi, .pdf, .sib and .mus) will be here: http://sebastianwolff.info/music.php#sheets

Feedback's encouraged :)

Upload thing on the main page hates me. So, here's the upload of Shiro, Long Tail's from Wolf's Rain!

The song is one of the most emotional pieces I've heard so far: "Shiro, Long Tail's" from Wolf's Rain, composed by Yoko Kanno. The piano-solo transcription is not for the beginning pianist. Although I would love to help you out with difficult phrases, a certain proficiency is required to play this piece.

[ A ] Legato. Voice the right hand without forcing the melody
[ B ] Cantabile – especially measures 34-35, before the simile. Pardon the rather large reaches (m. 46-49). I fear some of you will have difficulties reaching certain spans (10s, 11ths), so feel free to omit the secondary melody in the right hand if reaching is a problem.
[ C ] Delicate staccato. Bridging section
[ D ] Beware the pedal - don't smush the left hand's tremolo together (like I did)
[ E ] Welcome to Bb minor! This section feels minimalist to me, just because of the ever-repeating arpeggios, which was the best I could do to emulate a string quartet. Feel free to alter it as you see fit
[ F ] Sorry, went wild with ornamentation, which you can leave out, of course. And yes, the last chord is actually held for 20 counts.

So, enough ramblings. I hope you could get something out of the hints for each section. I'd love to see where you take this piece. Good luck, and enjoy!
